   There Venerable Sāriputta addressed the mendicants:

5. 5

   “इधावुसो,i·dhā·vu·so भिक्खुbhik·khu सीलसम्पन्नोsī·la·sam·pan·no समाधिसम्पन्नोsa·mā·dhi·sam·pan·no पञ्ञासम्पन्नोpañ·ñā·sam·pan·no सञ्ञावेदयितनिरोधंsañ·ñā·ve·da·yi·ta·ni·ro·dhaṃ समापज्जेय्यापिsa·mā·paj·jey·yā·pi वुट्ठहेय्यापि—vuṭ·ṭha·hey·yā·pi

   “Reverends, take a mendicant who is accomplished in ethics, immersion, and wisdom. They might enter into and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling.

   If they don’t reach enlightenment in this very life, then, surpassing the company of gods that consume edible food, they’re reborn in a certain host of mind-made gods. There they might enter into and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling.

    Then Venerable Sāriputta thought,

    “Venerable Udāyī disagrees with me three times, and not one mendicant agrees with me.

    Then Sāriputta went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side,

    and said to the mendicants:

    “कंkaṃ पनpa·na त्वं,tvaṃ उदायि,u·dā·yi मनोमयंma·no·ma·yaṃ कायंkā·yaṃ पच्चेसी”ति?pac·ce·sī

    “kaṁ pana tvaṁ, udāyi, manomayaṁ kāyaṁ paccesī”ti?

    “But Udāyī, do you believe in a mind-made body?”

46. 46

    “येye ते,te भन्ते,bhan·te देवाde·vā अरूपिनोa·rū·pi·no सञ्ञामया”ति।sañ·ñā·ma·yā

    “Ye te, bhante, devā arūpino saññāmayā”ti.

    “For those gods, sir, who are formless, made of perception.”

47. 47

    “किंkiṃ नुnu खोkho तुय्हं,tuy·haṃ उदायि,u·dā·yi बालस्सbā·las·sa अब्यत्तस्सab·yat·tas·sa भणितेन।bha·ṇi·te·na

    “Kiṁ nu kho tuyhaṁ, udāyi, bālassa abyattassa bhaṇitena.

    “Udāyī, what has an incompetent fool like you got to say?

48. 48

    त्वम्पिtvam·pi नामnā·ma भणितब्बंbha·ṇi·tab·baṃ मञ्ञसी”ति।mañ·ña·sī

    Tvampi nāma bhaṇitabbaṁ maññasī”ti.

    How on earth could you imagine you’ve got something worth saying!”

49. 49

    अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ आनन्दंā·nan·daṃ आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

    Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi:

    Then the Buddha said to Venerable Ānanda,

50. 50

    “अत्थिat·thi नाम,nā·ma आनन्द,ā·nan·da थेरंthe·raṃ भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ विहेसियमानंvi·he·si·ya·mā·naṃ अज्झुपेक्खिस्सथ।aj·jhu·pek·khis·sa·tha

    “atthi nāma, ānanda, theraṁ bhikkhuṁ vihesiyamānaṁ ajjhupekkhissatha.

    “Ānanda! How can you just watch while a senior mendicant is being harassed?

51. 51

    नna हिhi नाम,nā·ma आनन्द,ā·nan·da कारुञ्ञम्पिkā·ruñ·ñam·pi भविस्सतिbha·vis·sa·ti थेरम्हिthe·ram·hi भिक्खुम्हिbhik·khum·hi विहेसियमानम्ही”ति।vi·he·si·ya·mā·nam·hī

    Na hi nāma, ānanda, kāruññampi bhavissati theramhi bhikkhumhi vihesiyamānamhī”ti.

    Don’t you have any compassion for a senior mendicant who is being harassed?”

52. 52

    अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

    Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:

    Then the Buddha addressed the mendicants:

53. 53

    “इध,i·dha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुbhik·khu सीलसम्पन्नोsī·la·sam·pan·no समाधिसम्पन्नोsa·mā·dhi·sam·pan·no पञ्ञासम्पन्नोpañ·ñā·sam·pan·no सञ्ञावेदयितनिरोधंsañ·ñā·ve·da·yi·ta·ni·ro·dhaṃ समापज्जेय्यापिsa·mā·paj·jey·yā·pi वुट्ठहेय्यापि—vuṭ·ṭha·hey·yā·pi

    “idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlasampanno samādhisampanno paññāsampanno saññāvedayitanirodhaṁ samāpajjeyyāpi vuṭṭhaheyyāpi—

    “Mendicants, take a mendicant who is accomplished in ethics, immersion, and wisdom. They might enter into and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling.

54. 54

    अत्थेतंat·the·taṃ ठानं।ṭhā·naṃ

    atthetaṁ ṭhānaṁ.

    That is possible.

55. 55

    If they don’t reach enlightenment in this very life, they’re reborn in the company of a certain host of mind-made gods, who surpass the gods that consume edible food. There they might enter into and emerge from the cessation of perception and feeling.

56. 56

    अत्थेतंat·the·taṃ ठानन्”ति।ṭhā·nan

    That is possible.”

57. 57

    इदमवोचi·da·ma·vo·ca भगवा।bha·ga·vā

    Idamavoca bhagavā.

    That is what the Buddha said.

58. 58

    इदंi·daṃ वत्वानvat·vā·na सुगतोsu·ga·to उट्ठायासनाuṭ·ṭhā·yā·sa·nā विहारंvi·hā·raṃ पाविसि।pā·vi·si

    Idaṁ vatvāna sugato uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ pāvisi.

    When he had spoken, the Holy One rose from his seat and entered his dwelling.

59. 59

    Then, not long after the Buddha had left, Venerable Ānanda went to Venerable Upavāṇa and said to him,

60. 60

    “इधावुसोi·dhā·vu·so उपवाण,u·pa·vā·ṇa अञ्ञेañ·ñe थेरेthe·re भिक्खूbhik·khū विहेसेन्ति।vi·he·sen·ti

    “idhāvuso upavāṇa, aññe there bhikkhū vihesenti.

    “Reverend Upavāṇa, they’ve been harassing other senior mendicants,

61. 61

    मयंma·yaṃ तेनte·na नna मुच्चाम।muc·cā·ma

    Mayaṁ tena na muccāma.

    but I didn’t question them.

62. 62

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the Buddha brings this up when he comes out of retreat later this afternoon. He might even call upon Venerable Upavāṇa himself.

63. 63

    And right now I feel insecure.”

64. 64

    Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to the assembly hall. He sat down on the seat spread out and said to Upavāṇa,

65. 65

    “कतिहिka·ti·hi नुnu खो,kho उपवाण,u·pa·vā·ṇa धम्मेहिdham·me·hi समन्नागतोsa·man·nā·ga·to थेरोthe·ro भिक्खुbhik·khu सब्रह्मचारीनंsab·rah·ma·cā·rī·naṃ पियोpi·yo चca होतिho·ti मनापोma·nā·po चca गरुga·ru चca भावनीयोbhā·va·nī·yo चा”ति?cā

    “Katihi nu kho, upavāṇa, dhammehi samannāgato thero bhikkhu sabrahmacārīnaṁ piyo ca hoti manāpo ca garu ca bhāvanīyo cā”ti?

    “Upavāṇa, how many qualities should a senior mendicant have to be dear and beloved to their spiritual companions, respected and admired?”

66. 66

    “पञ्चहि,pañ·ca·hi भन्ते,bhan·te धम्मेहिdham·me·hi समन्नागतोsa·man·nā·ga·to थेरोthe·ro भिक्खुbhik·khu सब्रह्मचारीनंsab·rah·ma·cā·rī·naṃ पियोpi·yo चca होतिho·ti मनापोma·nā·po चca गरुga·ru चca भावनीयोbhā·va·nī·yo च।ca

    “Pañcahi, bhante, dhammehi samannāgato thero bhikkhu sabrahmacārīnaṁ piyo ca hoti manāpo ca garu ca bhāvanīyo ca.

    “Sir, a senior mendicant with five qualities is dear and beloved to their spiritual companions, respected and admired.

67. 67

    कतमेहिka·ta·me·hi पञ्चहि?pañ·ca·hi

    Katamehi pañcahi?

    What five?

68. 68

    इध,i·dha भन्ते,bhan·te थेरोthe·ro भिक्खुbhik·khu सीलवाsī·la·vā होतिho·ti …पे…pe समादायsa·mā·dā·ya सिक्खतिsik·kha·ti सिक्खापदेसु;sik·khā·pa·de·su

    Idha, bhante, thero bhikkhu sīlavā hoti …pe… samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu;

    It’s when a mendicant is ethical, restrained in the monastic code, conducting themselves well and resorting for alms in suitable places. Seeing danger in the slightest fault, they keep the rules they’ve undertaken.

69. 69

    बहुस्सुतोba·hus·su·to होतिho·ti …पे…pe दिट्ठियाdiṭ·ṭhi·yā सुप्पटिविद्धा;sup·pa·ṭi·vid·dhā

    bahussuto hoti …pe… diṭṭhiyā suppaṭividdhā;

    They’re very learned, remembering and keeping what they’ve learned. These teachings are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased, describing a spiritual practice that’s totally full and pure. They are very learned in such teachings, remembering them, reciting them, mentally scrutinizing them, and penetrating them theoretically.

70. 70

    They’re a good speaker who enunciates well, with a polished, clear, and articulate voice that expresses the meaning.

71. 71

    catunnaṁ jhānānaṁ ābhicetasikānaṁ diṭṭhadhammasukhavihārānaṁ nikāmalābhī hoti akicchalābhī akasiralābhī;

    They get the four absorptions—blissful meditations in this life that belong to the higher mind—when they want, without trouble or difficulty.

72. 72

    आसवानंā·sa·vā·naṃ खयाkha·yā …पे…pe सच्छिकत्वाsac·chi·kat·vā उपसम्पज्जu·pa·sam·paj·ja विहरति।vi·ha·ra·ti

    They realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom. And they live having realized it with their own insight in this very life due to the ending of defilements.

73. 73

    इमेहिi·me·hi खो,kho भन्ते,bhan·te पञ्चहिpañ·ca·hi धम्मेहिdham·me·hi समन्नागतोsa·man·nā·ga·to थेरोthe·ro भिक्खुbhik·khu सब्रह्मचारीनंsab·rah·ma·cā·rī·naṃ पियोpi·yo चca होतिho·ti मनापोma·nā·po चca गरुga·ru चca भावनीयोbhā·va·nī·yo चा”ति।cā

    Imehi kho, bhante, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato thero bhikkhu sabrahmacārīnaṁ piyo ca hoti manāpo ca garu ca bhāvanīyo cā”ti.

    A senior mendicant with these five qualities is dear and beloved to their spiritual companions, respected and admired.”

74. 74

    “साधुsā·dhu साधु,sā·dhu उपवाण।u·pa·vā·ṇa

    “Sādhu sādhu, upavāṇa.

    “Good, good, Upavāṇa!

    Imehi kho, upavāṇa, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato thero bhikkhu sabrahmacārīnaṁ piyo ca hoti manāpo ca garu ca bhāvanīyo ca.

    A senior mendicant with these five qualities is dear and beloved to their spiritual companions, respected and admired.

76. 76

    If these five qualities are not found in a senior mendicant, why would their spiritual companions honor, respect, revere, or venerate them? Because of their broken teeth, gray hair, and wrinkled skin?

77. 77

    यस्माyas·mā चca खो,kho उपवाण,u·pa·vā·ṇa इमेi·me पञ्चpañ·ca धम्माdham·mā थेरस्सthe·ras·sa भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no संविज्जन्ति,saṃ·vij·jan·ti तस्माtas·mā तंtaṃ सब्रह्मचारीsab·rah·ma·cā·rī सक्करोन्तिsak·ka·ron·ti गरुंga·ruṃ करोन्तिka·ron·ti मानेन्तिmā·nen·ti पूजेन्ती”ति।pū·jen·tī

    But since these five qualities are found in a senior mendicant, their spiritual companions honor, respect, revere, or venerate them.”
